The Architecture of a Sinking Heartbeat

I woke up today to find my apartment breathing; the walls were softly pulsing like an oversized lung, and I could hear the city's heartbeat humming through the floorboards.
He arrived not at my door, but as a sudden shift in gravity that pulled me toward him across three dimensions of silence. We sat together beneath curtains woven from frozen sunlight—each thread singing hymns to old memories. As we spoke of our day, I watched his voice manifest into small, iridescent birds that fluttered around us before melting into warm syrup upon touching my skin.
He touched my cheek and suddenly the room dissolved; chairs began to flow like rivers of mahogany, and clocks drifted away on clouds made of forgotten letters.
In this distorted space where time was merely a suggestion I could fold with my fingers, his hand in mine became the only axis that remained steady. My heart didn't beat—it blossomed into an intricate clockwork flower, its petals turning slowly to track a sun that refused to set over our shared breath.
This is how we love now: by letting ourselves liquefy under the weight of tenderness and learning to dance on ceilings made of stardust.
